Realistic charcoal art. I’m passionate about capturing fine details, light, and emotion, bringing each subject to life through charcoal.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in God, in everyday life, and in my family. Art runs through generations in my family, and now my child also draws, which inspires me to keep growing and creating with purpose.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in deepening my education in charcoal art through professional training, high-quality materials, and mentorship. My goal is to refine my skills, create meaningful work, and inspire others—especially young people—to express themselves through art.
